    ahh but there is no such thing as undertaking in nz, just like how there is no overtaking, fast, medium and slow lanes lol. Bloody nz road rules are silly.

    Do you pay any attention to the road?

    No, no he doesn't. No wonder he didn't know he was actually undertaking Hanne in the same lane on an onramp to the motorway around a corner when she didn't have a mirror so couldn't even tell he was there!

    Naw you just do a lane change to the left lane, then pass them on the right. Nothing illegal about that. Yeah don't pass the car in front of you on the left - ilegal!

    Yeah, undertaking is illegal. Lane splitting can be viewed technically as overtaking, but as such, you must have your blinker on to indicate that you are overtaking.

    You can actually get a ticket (if the cops are really pissed/looking for tickets), for not successfully indicating while "overtaking"

    Edit: Oh, and when my mate got a crash from undertaking a parked car in the middle of the road, he checked the actual roadcode, and its legal to undertake IF and only if, the car is in the middle of the road and not moving, such as turning right or for some unforseen reason, broken. This assumes that its not a different lane the car in the middle of the road is in.

    something to do with undertaking etc....... does anyone else dislike using that term purely for the pun it entails?
